NCAA Tournament Seed
What seed will the Flyers receive after today's de ja vu all over again performance? Will the conference regular season outright championship mean more to the committee than a QF flame job, resulting in a 7? Or are they stuck in the 8/9 tilt for sure? Or are they now greeted with a silver lining of a 10/11 seed? Or do they get to host a play-in game? I don't want to think about the worst case scenario.
I'm thinking the body of work lands them in the 8/9. Doesn't really matter which number.

The only saving grace to this let down (and I hated that we had to play Davidson), is that we become a 10/11..we shall see.

I said 11 in the game thread but was still being affected by my anger I think. Should be anywhere from 8 to 10, with 9 or 10 being most likely depending on what some other teams do.

That's some fire to be playing with. Didn't like this match up from the get go. Going to be a bumpy landing.

Too early to tell. There will be at-large bids stolen over the next couple of days. Bubble teams will get big wins and pass us.
Trying to account for some of that I would say a 10, but like I said - still too early.

Not to mention if someone other than VCU wins the A10 tourney, we might be left off as a "that conference only deserves 2 teams" type of thing.

This doesn't happen no matter how many times it gets repeated on this board. We were the 6th A10 team in the 2014 tournament. Yes the league was better, but there is no set conference allotment.

I agree that it was true then. But committees change and so do their thinking. I find it hard to believe that conference affiliation isn't considered as some factor. If they were doing blind resumes in the selection room and calling them "Team A" and "Team B" I'd feel a lot better.

So you can say this with 100 percent certainty that biases don't play a part? Why? Because you believe that every guideline is followed to a tee and no politics ever comes into play? Money doesn't talk? Have you ever sat in the room when the selections were being made?

On ESPN Lunardi just said that over the last few years the committee has not given much credence either way to big conference tournament games. Let's hope for the Flyers sake this true.

Does that mean an 11 seed? Because if what most people think, avoiding the #1 seed as long as possible, 6-11 would be what's best.

I don't care if we are a 7, 8,9, 10, or 11 seed, I just want a good matchup, who we play is all I'm concerned about. We are a LOCK, just depends what seed we get. That's why I hope we end up with a 10 seed as opposed to the 8/9.
Our resume is simply too good to be any lower than a 10. Seriously, compare our entire body of work with any other projected 10-11 seed and it's not even close. I advise everyone to take a deep breath, step off the ledge, and look forward to Sunday evening.

That's because the committee has already selected the at large teams and its only ONE game in the season.

One game in the case of a loss but he is also saying it for bubble teams that win a game or two in their tournaments.

Not worried about what seed we get (assuming we will get one). I'm more worried about our ****-poor defense over a fairly long stretch now. It won't matter who we are or who we play if we cannot properly defend. Would be a terrible shame for this group to go out with three straight losses to end their UD careers.

www.bracketmatrix.com has it's latest ranking - as of this morning - as the 1st 8-seed. Would be nice to move up one slot and get the last 7-seed.
